TEXT - English translation by Mick Swithinbank
Heaven, send down your dew upon the righteous, clouds, send it,
Earth, open your gates, that the Redeemer may come.
Praise His honour, all creatures of the Earth.
Man, make haste to join in praising God's honour eternally.
All that God's hands have created - the sun, the moon, the myriad of stars -
All that has been planted on the Earth, show how great God's might is.
All you who pray to God and call upon him,
Confess your sins to him, atone for them in love.
God has heard your weak, pitiful voice.
He has promised redemption and will send his Son soon.
He will govern the whole Earth, all peoples and rulers.
In all eternity there will be no end to his holy realm and power.
